The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

There was a bang bang bang knock on the door. Savage turned his head and found that his door had been knocked on. When he opened the door, he didn't see anyone at first glance. He looked down and found a child with baby fat on his face , holding a stack of newspapers, looking at him expectantly.

Sir, do you want to order a newspaper? Eighty percent of the residents here have ordered it. I will deliver today's latest daily newspaper to your door at 6:30 in the morning. If you also ordered milk, the milk will also be delivered to your door. And delivered, other breakfast food and daily necessities will be delivered at 8:00 am and 5:00 pm...

Savage frowned, but the kid was not afraid at all. He took two steps closer, handed the newspaper to Savage and said, You can read it first, we have a cooperation with the Gotham Daily, and we promise to give you Newspaper inks are of the best quality, and you can read them even without ironing!

Of course, we also provide free newspaper ironing services, but you must subscribe to newspapers and milk for at least one year to give this service.

Believe me, sir, our Majiaoer gang is the most professional newspaper boy in the living hell, and the milk we can order is also the best, all just shipped from outside the city. If you order all of them, I can still go Help you negotiate a discount...

The kid was selling hard, but Savage kept his eyes on the newspaper.

He found that the construction site information he asked the piper to collect before was now clearly written in the newspaper. Not only that, but also the start time and completion time of each construction site, how long the work was done every day, and even the completion time. The renderings were all written on the front page of the newspaper.

Savage snorted coldly, he thought, Wayne Group is just a private company, and doesn't understand the importance of information at all. Such an important thing is written so plainly in a newspaper that everyone can read it. If someone If you want to make trouble, can't you just get the information?

Sir, do you want to order? Please, order one. Our recent performance is not good. If I fail to complete the order, our boss will beat me, please...

Amidst the children's pleadings, Savage handed him the newspaper and said, How do I order it?

The child immediately showed a happy smile, then took out a notebook from his pocket and said, You just need to write your name and address here, pay the fee, and then you can get the newspaper every week.

If you order the newspaper alone, it costs $10 a week, but if you add milk, the total is $16 a week. If you want to subscribe for a year, it can be cheaper. If you want to hire, the long-term errand service can also be paid monthly. The month is $60...”

Savage snorted coldly and said, Do you think I don't know that you deliberately charged a high price? And the house rented to me by the gangsters here is at least ten times more expensive than outside.

Of course, sir. Contrary to Savage's expectations, the newsboy didn't panic or even deny it, he just said seriously: It's very expensive for outsiders to order newspapers here, because we need to pay extra to get them Deliver newspapers for you.

After finishing speaking, the newspaper boy scratched his fingers and said, Let's put it this way, if something happens to you here, or if you hurt someone here because you don't understand the rules, we will all be taken by the gangsters above us for questioning...

Once something serious happens, we will all be implicated, ranging from being unable to work for a few days, to severely losing our lives. Therefore, your hiring us will be more expensive. This is reasonable, and all foreigners are like this .”

After finishing speaking, the newsboy curled his lips and said, It's just that some poor ghosts from other places say they can't afford it. They have to find all kinds of excuses and want us to sell it to him cheaply...

Before, there was a ghost from other places who was drunk and smashed a vase. The fragments of the vase hurt a small patrolling head. I was taken for questioning on the second and third days. Work, or borrow money to ask others to buy food...

In the end, the drunk had no money to pay, so I was scolded by the gang leader, saying that I knew he was drinking, but I didn't remind them.

The newsboy stared at Savage with wide eyes and said, They say, you are rich, that's why I'm here. If it's those poor people with no qualifications, I won't even knock on the door!

Savage's eyes widened, a little surprised, he didn't expect that the kids here would be so well-founded.

After some words, people feel quite reasonable, and they will feel sympathy for him, so Savage said: Money is not the problem, the problem is, I gave you so much money, how much can you do for me? ?”

The newsboy's eyes widened immediately. He looked around and said in a low voice, My God, sir, you really don't intend to do something here, do you?

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Savage took out ten cents from his pocket and handed it to him. The newsboy took the money and continued: In the first month when foreigners come here, children will pay attention Keep an eye on him, if you have any questions, you will report them immediately, please don't do anything here.

If the gangsters can't control them, they will find the police. The police in Gotham are terrible. In our place, there are not many people who can go to court alive, even fewer with healthy limbs, and the bat that often runs around here Xia, I heard that he eats children...

Savage narrowed his eyes, and he said: No, I don't want to do anything here, but you know me, I'm new here, and I'm not very familiar with the rules here, if I'd like to order your newspaper and milk, you Would you like to tell me some major events that happened recently?

The newsboy scratched his head and said, But, you can see all the important events in the newspapers? You just need to subscribe to the newspapers.

I'm talking about the big things in the living hell...

The newsboy seemed puzzled, but he said, Well, if it gets you to order a newspaper from me, that's fine, but I don't have that much time to write, so how do I tell you?

If you can't write, then I'll find someone who can write. Savage squinted his eyes, stroked his arm, and said, There should be a lot of newspaper boys who can deliver newspapers here...

The newsboy shook his head and said: Morning and evening are the peak times for us to deliver things. No one is willing to waste time writing long essays. If we don't write them ourselves, we have to hire someone, which will cost money.

I've said it all, money is not a problem. Savage took a step back in a timely manner, and he said, I will give you a suitable reward, but you must guarantee the timeliness and authenticity of the information.

The newspaper boy struggled for a long time and said: Okay, but you have to give me an extra $10 a week... Ah, no, $5, $5 is enough, and I will put the written things on the table at 5 o'clock every night. Under your vase.

But... the newsboy raised his voice and emphasized: You have to order a year's worth of newspapers and milk to make up for my lack of orders this month, otherwise it's not worth it...

The two debated for a long time, and finally, Savage took out the money, and the newsboy got the order.

Savage thought he had found a breakthrough. Although these kids desperately wanted money, they were at least much better than those unreasonable gangsters who only twitched.

It doesn't matter if they ask for a high price, or even slaughter themselves as a fat sheep, as long as they agree to their first condition, the follow-up will be easy,

Yes, Savage's thinking is the same as Schiller's thinking before him. He feels that as long as a group here opens the door to him, as long as they are willing to make a little step back, then things will follow.

The newsboy quickly ran through the corridor, crossed the somewhat narrow covered bridge, and came to the South District.

He knocked on the door of an office, and without waiting for the people inside to respond, he opened the door and rushed in, saying: Mr. He sent information!

How much are you asking him for? asked Copperpot, looking up from behind his desk.

I wanted $10, but I ended up asking $5. Is that a bit too much? the newsboy asked, After all, I told him it was $10 a week...

Not high, I think it's just right. Coppert showed a sinister smile, and he said, This price will let him know that he has been slaughtered, but it is nothing to him at all. What Professor Le said clouded his judgment of the loss.

10 dollars a week is an outrageously high price for the living hell. He should know this, but because he is rich, he thinks it's okay to try. The next step is to increase his cost step by step. Test his bottom line...

It's a good show, it's about to start.

With Cobblepot's smile, several leaflets on his desk flew out along the window and landed in front of Savage's door one after another.

In front of every apartment room in Living Hell, there will be a mailbox. Before Savage moved in, he discovered that most of the mailboxes here were filled with advertisements, but he didn’t expect that he just moved in the next day. , I greeted the warm welcome of the merchants here.

Food, daily necessities, even weapons, bars, restaurants, and some hard-to-say pharmacies, almost all the businesses that can be found in Living Hell, put a lot of advertisements in these corridors.

Savage will not buy vegetables and cook by himself like the residents here. He will only go to high-end restaurants to eat. The food charges in the restaurants in Living Hell are not expensive, but various additional fees are surprisingly expensive. The fee is 30%, the tip is 20%, and even the packed lunch box costs more than ten dollars.

However, Savage used to spend at the Sokworth Hotel, and the restaurants in Living Hell, even if these messy expenses are added, are not half of what they spent at the Sokworth Hotel.

From such a comparison, Savage felt that they charged more money, but it was actually nothing, because the total price was not expensive, and the service attitude was much better than that of the Sokworth Hotel.

The style of all the shops here in Living Hell is that whenever you see Savage coming in, you are greeted with a smile. From the store manager to the waiters, they stand in two rows and bow to say hello with smiles. Someone came over and asked what he was going to do.

When it was time to sign the tip, the employee with the best service came over and looked at him with a smile on his face. Savage simply swiped a pen, and the total was only a few tens of dollars anyway.

Of course, after seeing these advertisements, Savage also wanted to go to the bar to find out, because there should be a lot of information where gang members are most active.

When you enter a bar, you must order wine. The most common Mizuki whiskey costs tens of dollars, but as long as you add a little more money, you can order a pretty good glass of wine for more than 100 dollars.

When Savage spent at the Sokworth Hotel, it was almost the same price, so Savage was not surprised.

When sitting at the bar, a group of gangsters sitting next to them often drank too much and talked about their boss. Savage sat beside him and listened. is normal.

These two-digit and three-digit consumption are not noticed by Savage at all. It costs more than 200 US dollars to go to a meal, more than 100 US dollars to go to the supermarket, and go to bars and nightclubs to inquire about information. , $500 is not much.

However, after staying for two weeks, Savage looked at the latest expense bill, and he was stunned.

In two weeks, he spent nearly $3,000, which is a huge amount of money even for the middle class in Gotham in the 1990s.
